Editor’s Note: There were insurmountable technical issues with the recording of this episode, and as such, there are several interruptions during the first 10 minutes of the interview. We apologize for this disruption in the listening experience.
In this episode of The Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with business advisor and facilitator, Tony Collins, about the tool sets, skill sets, and mindset necessary to create growth and prosperity for small businesses. Tony Collins is a Business Advisor and Facilitator at Aileron, a collaborative organization that offers professional management services to help businesses who want to grow successfully by focusing on what’s important and aligning their team. Aileron believes in continuous learning, community and comradery, conscious leadership, and progress over perfection.
Over the last 25 years, Tony has started, turned-around or helped grow over five different small to medium sized businesses in a variety of industries. Tony is an expert in growth strategy development, planning, execution and strategic marketing, and he has authored a series of small business strategy workshops and presentations that he has delivered throughout the U.S. Tony is often called upon by business leaders for advice and input how and where to strategically grow their business.
Beyond Tony being a kindred spirit, I can also say that Aileron is a kindred organization that shares and applies many of the core principles of Transformative Leadership with the businesses they work with. So, be sure to check this episode out, and then go check out Aileron’s website!
